List still isn't sending to my Yahoo address, so hopefully this one will
work...

I have successfully gotten this working...to an extent, however, a few
things stand out that appear to be incorrect, and I don't know where to fix
them (I can't tell whether it's "feature functionality" or if it's an error
somewhere...in either Bria or SipXecs):

1.  Every time logging into Bria via the provisioning route, I keep getting
contacts showing up that I don't believe should.  In the group "Ungrouped
Contacts", I keep getting the same one added to that group every time I log
in.  So if contactA is there when I log off, contactA is there twice when I
log back in.  If I then log off, contactA is there three times when I got in
again.  Etc, etc.  It can be re-created 100% of the time.

2.  When Bria user A and Bria user B initially log in and add each other as
contacts, neither of them will get a permission request or appear as online
in each other's contacts unless the Jabber: field is filled in with
[email protected], and then hit 'Ok'.  Question for Counterpath
ultimately, and I will raise it with them, but shouldn't that field just
assume it's the same domain unless otherwise stated?

3.  The "Work" contact group is automatically populated with contacts from
the SipXecs install, regardless if they are enabled for IM...even the
superadmin user is listed.  If I remove the group, then come back, it's
magically back again.  I don't want any users automatically populated.  The
ultimate goal is to pick users out of a directory (which one is unimportant
now), be able to add their softphone or sip address, and save it in Contacts
and have it be persistent across restarts.

4.  To get presence and everything working correctly on each login, for each
user one has to edit each profile and then put [email protected] in the
Jabber field and re-check the box to see presence information for that
user.  Otherwise, you can't see presence information.  Why isn't this kept
across restarts of Bria?


There are other nagging issues, but those are the 4 that are getting most on
my nerves right now, and I don't know where the problem truly resides.  For
what its worth, logging into Spark or Pidgin with no changes on the SipXecs
side just works.  Only looking at the Bria log file was I able to figure out
that it was sending u...@ipaddressofxmppserver instead of
[email protected].  That is the only reason I tried filling (and
re-filling) the Jabber: field with [email protected], and everything
magically started working.  However, those changes aren't kept across
restarts, and I have no idea why.

Also, you need to setup bria to communicate with sipxopenfire. It is better
to use the bria provisioning service in sipconfig to do this. You should
have a sip ONLY account and an IM account (both pointed to sipx). 2
accounts, not both services in one.
See the wiki on counterpath provisioning.

Subject: [sipx-users] Clarification on IM (XMPP vs SIP)
I have the Bria 3 client working with our install of SipXecs, but I'm
confused on the instant messenger aspect.  If I just fire up Bria with a SIP
profile and check both the SIP and IM boxes, people can IM each other.  How
is that working?  Is that going through the SipXecs server, or is that a
straight peer-to-peer IM?  I don't see any log file containing conversation
history on the SipXecs server.
I also set up an XMPP profile in Bria 3, and that is working.  But again, I
don't understand the difference between the SIP IM vs the XMPP IM when it
just comes to simple instant messaging.  What is gained/lost by using one or
the other?
What I'm trying to accomplish:  I don't want users to send/receive files or
anything, I just want users to be able to IM each other and have the
conversation logged on the server.
Our install doesn't need any of the advanced functionality that Openfire or
any other solution offers.  At this time, we only want people to IM each
other and have the conversations logged.  What is the most straightforward
way to allow that to happen with the SipXecs install?
